toastwars Posted February 21, 2005 Author Share Posted February 21, 2005 I want to set up a league table of crackdown effectivness, I think the ratings will be very low in all honesty. A crackdown here usually involves one token arrest and a lot of colum inches then dies out pretty quickly. Todays crackdown is food toxin levels, I shall keep my eye open for it's falure in the near future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyinRed Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 The crackdown of not selling alcohol between 2-5pm seemed to be working in Central in Phuket. Not only did a uniformed guard came (after my squabbling with the cashier for a 2 minutes extended period) and took away the half dozen of liquid gold, he even shut the transparent plastic canvas on the beer shelves, right in front of me!
